INK #280 - Gold

At Inkspirational we have the theme of GOLD and I actually got so inspired I made 3 cards! For all 3 cards I used a cocktail die set from Tim Holtz together with different gold colored papers and cardstock.

Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my INK-teamies have made. 

Card #1: Merry Christmas and cheers to the new year
It's hard to photograph cards with lots of shine, this card looks a bit darker in the photo than what it actually is. I used a Tim Holtz DP and decoupage paper in gold with red berriers on top. I heat embossed the Christmas sentiment and added glitter bubbles to the champagne glass.
This card is for:
Christmas Kickstart Challenge - #69

 

Card #2: 'Tis the season to be jolly - landscape layout
For this card I used a stencilled background with snow paste on kraft, it has a nice glittery effect. I used a torn strip of the red berry decoupage paper and added a sticker sentiment. Here I  clustered the glasses closes together, overlapping with the martini glass.
This card is for:
Fab n Funky - #562 Die Cuts or Embossing/No stamped image

 

Card #3: 'Tis the season to be jolly - portrait layout
Same theme but a different layout. And I changed the martini for a beer. The background is a green and gold decoupage paper.
This card is for:
Winter Wonderland - ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE

 

INK #277 - Fireworks

At Inkspirational we have the challenge of FIREWORKS. I much prefer fireworks on cards than in real life, I'm afraid of the stuff. I know it can be used for several occasions, but for me the most obvious choice was to go with a New Year's card.
I used a fireworks die set from Lawn Fawn, and I added gold ink and frantage on top. The clock is a Marianne die set, the glasses are Tim Holtz and the sentiment is made with dies from Concord&9th.

Guest Designer at Twofer - challenge #33

I’m so happy to be invited as guest designer for Twofer Card Challenge #33, where the theme is STARS. I’ve made two cards for different occasions and with different designs, using the same star die.
I made a card fit for several occasions - "you're a star" card - as well as a New Year's card.

 

1) Youre' a star
For this card I made a background using brushos. I made a window and frame using star dies and added lots of sequins for a shaker design. I believ the fairy is a die from Marianne. I usually use the combinaion of red with gold and blue with silver, but for this card, for no particular reason, I used blue with gold for a change.

 

This card is also for:
Cardz 4 Galz - #134 Silver &/or Gold
The Library Challenge - How to Catch a Star

 

 

2) New Year
I do hope 2021 will be better than 2020, so I hope I plan on making a toast for the new year. A script sentiment used for the background, otherwise dies and sequins used, as well as frantage. The sentiment is made with dies from Concord&9th.
